About question of Sql server 2005 cluster.

I am Sql server administrator in a company and I don't have experience of sql
server 2005 failedover cluster. Recently my company decides to use cluster to
conduct disaster recovery strategy. I want to make a preperation about it,
could somebody recommend some online document to read? In addition, I read
some doc that most of that work are conducted by system administrator, such
as network setup, MSCS, SAN and so on, what kind of work that I need to do?
e.g. sql server software installation, monistor and so on? Are those a lot of
difference? Please give me advice? Thanks in advance.
There is no substitute for training and hands-on experience. Check out

Make your mistakes on the test platform so you are practiced and ready when
you need to build and support the real thing.
